Einstein
When Einstein was 5 years old, his father gave him a compass.
Einstein didn’t just play with the compass as most children would at
that age. He asked endless questions about how and why the needle
always pointed north.
When Einstein started school he not only had trouble with the other
children but with the teachers, as well. Not only was he a slow learner
but he was absent-minded. Einstein also had trouble paying attention in
class.
le
Einstein hated school. He disliked the strict discipline and memorizing lessons. Einstein
didn’t want to memorize. He wanted to think about, examine, and question things.

decided to stay. In 1940, he became an American citizen.
